Chinese Puzzles: Games for the Hands and Mind, Runs: July 22 – October 11, 2008, is an exhibition of antique Chinese puzzles from the Yi Zhi Tang Collection and will include traditional puzzles, such as tangrams, nine linked rings, and sliding block puzzles. But it will also have examples of puzzling objects, visual puzzles, and cleverly designed practical objects, such as puzzle rings and multi-step padlocks.

Presented by Pacific Environment, Chinese Culture Center & Asia Society on 5/13/2008. China’s growth over the past several decades not only brings enormous economic opportunities for China’s youth, but also the chance to shift social norms. Join us to meet the emerging social leaders from four different regions in China, and explore how China’s rapid rise is influencing the development of social movements.
